📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a Character Menu to Skyrim, heavily inspired by the one from Oblivion Remastered. It lets you easily access your character's details, skills, factions and stats.
It also comes with its own class attribution system, bringing back the 21 classic Elder Scrolls classes in an unintrusive way, matching Skyrim leveling system's freedom. More details below!
To open the Character Menu, press N by default. This key can be changed in the INI file.

On all tabs, you can toggle the "Details" panel by pressing F or RS with gamepad. This panel will display additional information when available.
This concerns Race, Constellation and Class on the Character tab, and all Skills on the Skills tab.
At the bottom right, you have your character's base information: Magicka, Health, Stamina, Level and Experience. Below these, you also have your Gold, Armor Rating and Carry Weight. If you have Survival Mode enabled, your character's Warmth value will be displayed next to Gold.
Character Tab ("Details" on)
The Character tab displays all basic information about your character.
When details are shown, a small icon will be displayed above the race's description if the player is either a vampire, a werewolf or a werebear. The werebear state is detected from Tales of Skyrim - Berserkyr's "Berserker Curse".
This is also where you can find the class that was attributed to them. Skyrim has no real class system, so how does it work?
Well, the mod will check your character's 7 highest level skills and using a closest-match formula, will determine which class corresponds the most to your current playstyle. This means that during a single playthrough, your character coul
